Welcome to the Rat’s Mouth

Previously known as Cosmic Space, and neglected as a venue since 2014 (the ‘good old days’ when we had a sane and sensible President), this is intended to be a new and more prolific transmission of thoughts, ideas, and facts. Many of them will be political. Since November 8, 2016, a day that will live in infamy, we have been enduring an ongoing political disaster, a virtual hurricane whose winds have not subsided, a continual threat to the social infrastructure of our nation and its relationship the the world.

Despite my disuse of WordPress, I have not been silent. My Rat Now column on my own website, http://www.cosmicrat.com, numerous posts and interactions on Facebook, and a blog on Shmoozezone.com, will attest to that. But this is a time when no soapbox should remain unspoken upon, when every sane thought and caring expression should be everywhere eyes can see and minds can comprehend.

The task of resisting and ultimately defeating the Trump regime is by no means mine alone, but of every one of us, the actual majority of us who did not choose to enable the travesty, the tragedy, of Trumpism. We cannot afford silence, nor apathy. Let us raise our voices together.
